Stereoboard Speaks To Hotly-Tipped Scarlette Fever About New Album 'Medication ...

Hertfordshire-born pop chanteuse Scarlette Fever has already received support from the likes of Radio 2, The Sun and Record Of The Day, and all this comes before she unleashes her debut album ‘Medication Time’ on June 27th. As an artist who is expected to turn many heads this summer, Stereoboard speaks to Scarlette, following her performance at Isle of Wight Festival last weekend, about the upcoming release, her rise to the fame and whats yet to come. It's certainly a different reason but I'm not sure that it's less insane! I think that I reached a point in my career where I realised that I was taking myself and my music too seriously. I wanted an artist name that reflected my passion for music and my somewhat dramatic personality (my sister's been calling me Starina from ‘The Birdcage’ for years). I knew that I liked the name Scarlet (a posher word for red) and at some point I was sent an e-mail referencing Scarlette Fever so I thought ‘that's it!’ When I write, I usually just write what I feel. I always hope that people will like my songs. Playing a song to my mum for the first time is always quite nerve wracking (she's my biggest fan and critic) and doesn't let me get away with anything less than my best. I think that the beauty of music is that it means something different to each and every listener. Ultimately, that's why I wanted to sing, to touch people (emotionally I mean)! I write my songs for anybody who enjoys them.  Blackpool was a fantastic experience although petrifying (it was a massive crowd)! I'm not a massive Robbie fan but I have a huge amount of respect and admiration for him. My reaction to meeting him was quite a surprise to myself; I turned into a complete star-struck giggling girl and almost swooned. He really is gorgeous, so nice, and to my surprise, tall.    Writing that song was one of those rare and exciting moments of synchronicity in life. I really couldn't have planned it happening!  I've always been a huge John Barry fan thanks to my mum, and 'Midnight Cowboy’ is one of her favourite films (“You're the only one Joe”).  Anyway I digress.  I was lucky enough to meet Grant Black (a fantastic writer); we immediately hit it off and started writing together.  At some point he had a great idea, to write a song around John Barry's Midnight Cowboy. We sent it off to John and luckily/ thankfully he gave his permission for us to use his sample. The tour was fantastic although exhausting.

12-string Guitar and Harmonica: Cotton-eyed Joe (Including lyrics ...

A one-hit wonder from a group called Rednex, this is another song from the repertoire of Burl Ives. It is a lively song, but the subject is not so. It comes from the days of slavery when a white man could own coloured slaves. In this case, Cotton-eyed Joe was a slave bought for entertainment purposes as a dancer. It appears though that he was too much of an attraction for the womenfolk and appears to have suffered badly at the hands of his owner.
